The ones that support FIR generally need their own driver. At least this is true with all the datasheets I've seen for the MIPS based PDAs. I'm told that laptops are similar. My libretto could talk via serial port to another libretto w/o any problems, but I've been unable to recreate the feet with my new Vaio. I've also seen software out there that tries in userland to turn on and off the BREAK character to do remote control things that aren't a serial protocol. Sometimes it works, other times it doesn't since it is trying to do critical timing in userland...
